"Although we are waiting for the house to go on the market for the formal inspection, Leon got back to us within the day to answer the many questions I had on buying a home in the Chicago area, since we are not from the area. He was so thorough and gave us factual information from city records or inspections rather than opinions. We are looking forward to working with him and his wife in the near future."

"Calista started the process by contacting me about needing a new roof. She knew her product and gif an excellent job explaining the process. We decided to give home genius a try with the free estimate. Caleb inspected out roof inside and out and found cracked Boards (not surprising for a 122 year old house) and explained what HG would do for repairs bad new shingles in a way that was easy tomunndersstandvsnccgavevus a quote well under what I expected to pay. It was hard not to pass the deal Up so we went with the quote. Thinking it would be weeks before they started the job I was surprised when Devan the project manager called and said a crew would be out the next day. Sure enough they were and within 10â hours everything was completed. Watching the workers go at it, they did and installed everything Caleb and Devan said would happen. Quick and efficient is how Iâ d describe the workmanship. The roof looks great and I am extremely pleased with the results. I give a 5 star rating for the entire process and will highly recommend Home Genius Exteriors"

"The home genius team was very helpful. They put my roof on a while ago and I had a leak recently that they came and inspected. We determined that my box gutters needed fixed and I had them do the job. Walter the project manager was very helpful coordinating the work and the work lance did an amazing job repairing the box gutters."

"I had storm damage on my roof that had caused my ceiling to collapse in places. After reviewing different companies I chose three and filled out online submissions for quotes. Within an hour Tom had contacted me and gathered all the general information. The other two companies never responded at all. The next day Wes showed up and inspected our roof and ceilings. He took photographs and covered everything with me. The next day Tom sent me some of the photos saying it looked like a great opportunity for homeowners insurance to cover some of the damage. I had not even considered that. Tom walked me through the insurance claim and also dealing with the insurance company which was not always easy. In the end insurance covered practically everything. The work was flawless by the crews who worked on my house. New roof, new vinyl siding with fascia and trim. New gutters. My house completely transformed. Bob the Builder is Amazing!"

""I recently had my home appraised by MJ/Johnson Appraisals, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. From the initial scheduling to the final report, the entire process was smooth, professional, and efficient. Mike Johnson was punctual, courteous, and clearly very knowledgeable. They took the time to thoroughly inspect my property, paying attention to details that I appreciated. I felt confident in their expertise and their commitment to providing an accurate valuation. The appraisal report was delivered promptly and was comprehensive and easy to understand. It provided a clear justification for the assessed value, addressing all the key factors that contribute to a home's worth. I highly recommend MJ/Johnson Appraisals to anyone in need of a reliable and professional home appraisal. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, and overall positive experience made a potentially stressful process surprisingly easy. Thank you!""

"Brian was referred to us by a friend. He came the next day and did both outdoor (for a baseline) and indoor testing. He emailed the report a few days later. It really put our minds at ease to know that our air quality is fine. We are very happy with his service and price. He brings a ton of experience and credibility to his work. Thanks!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

The cost of a home inspection varies depending on several factors. On average, you can expect to pay between $280 and $400, with a typical cost around $350. However, the full price range can be anywhere from approximately $187 to $510. The final cost is influenced by the home's size, age, condition, and location, as well as the inspector's experience and the depth of the inspection. Larger homes (e.g., over 2,000 square feet) and older homes typically cost more to inspect, as they may require checking for issues like structural deterioration or asbestos. The price may also increase if you need specialized services, such as asbestos testing, thermal imaging to detect infestations, or detailed checks for energy efficiency, structural integrity, or electrical problems. In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection. While it is an upfront cost, a thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.

Prepare to leave your home for a long absence by making sure small appliances and electronic devices are unplugged. You should also shut valves to your sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine. Set your thermostat closer to outside temperatures or a minimum of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, stop your mail (or have someone pick it up), and put at least one light on a timer.

The average cost of routine home maintenance is about 1% to 4% of your home’s total value every year. Larger projects like replacing a roof or repairing a foundation may end up costing you more, but it’s a good idea to set aside money for maintenance costs every year so you can keep your home in good shape.

While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for measuring humidity, you can gauge the levels in your home using simpler methods that provide rough estimations. One way is to observe physical clues. Signs of high humidity include mold growth, condensation on windows, or feeling sticky and clammy indoors. Conversely, dry skin or dry furniture can indicate that the humidity is too low. You can also try DIY tests, such as the ice cube test, using two different thermometers, or the “hair method,” which involves placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours—if the hair becomes limp, humidity is likely high.
